Do you receive a check from MS. Judging from the amount of posts you have put up here, i would say yes. You are trying to feed people this propoganda at an relenting speed. Please if i want propoganda i will watch Foxnews for that.

Remember people you get what you pay for!

TIME IS MONEY

The amount of time you spend maintaining your pc from problems with your Os can be spent making money. Time for all you MS users to invoice Billiy-boy for all the wasted time you spent trying to fix an outdated operating system. Time is money. Bill should pay up.!

Cheers!

i’ve been a pc user all my life, but i use macs and pcs at school and i actually work teaching kids how to use the programs on macbooks…my pc doesn’t EVER take 5 mintues to load. i have never bought an anti-virus. i don’t have crashes. i don’t have slowdowns. i know how to fix things if something happen, because i teach myself about how what i need to do to keep my pc in tip top shape…and with the macbooks we need to do all these updates, which is annoying because it takes time away from when we’re working with the kids, but aside from that although yeah it’s different, it’s not that hard to reorient yourself with os x system. uhm about the designs, well macs are obviously sleeker and have a definitive aesthetic, which wouldn’t be hard for pc’s to adopt, and some of the companies have recognized that the way their products looks/works need to attract the consumer because most regular people (like me really) don’t care about how things work as long as it looks nice and works well, but some people like me actually care about what is inside their computers. i just got my pc rebuilt with old parts from our old pc we had for 13 years, which would still work, but we took some of the old parts of the hardrive, got some new things and created a great mashed up pc that doesn’t have the problems you listed. i am learning to be dilligent in keeping my pc safe and have become a virus killer…which i think is all good about learning and progressing. i have nothing against macs or pcs, but i don’t buy the arguments. microsoft can run this ad because apple has been doing basically the same thing for years so all is fair. i just learned from reading the above comments that i can run os x on my pc with a crack…which i didn’t know about but i will find out.

And WHAT exactly makes it worth more than the sum of it’s parts? The $130 OS you can buy at retail anywhere?

“And yet, a PC built with these same parts runs like a piece of s**t. Why?”

Because the user knows jack shit about running a computer and likely screwed up everything along the way.

I built a PC with cheap parts about 3-5 years ago and it STILL runs perfectly smooth.

What else can you attribute the supposed “runs like shit” excuse other than the person not knowing how to use a computer?

Sounds like you are saying “Macs are for stupid people!”.

That was basically the gist of the “switch” ads from a few years ago.

Because, as a whole, a Mac is worth more than a sum of it’s parts.
And yet, a PC built with these same parts runs like a piece of s**t. Why?

>Because Apple brainwashed you into >thinking they are somehow superior.

No, you have brainwashed yourself into thinking they are inferior.

M is just the norm…everyone hates the norm…but M is much effective. If you look at it, I don’t think M is monopolizing.

In fact, I think apple is monopolizing, like app store…itunes…iphone (only with certain telcos)…osx can only still be use on mac when they shifted to intel (Not talking about all the hacks you have to go thru to put it on your notebook but an official release for any pc)…

For the first time, I think M is trying to go back on track. Its kinda cool to say “I’m a PC” now. What goes up must come down and its apple’s time this round.

Always remember…cheap doesn’t mean its bad…neither expensive means its good. Time to put some sense back to consumer rather than having a cult movement.

show me a mac that you can stuff enough graphics cards in to draw enough power to brown out several city blocks then we’ll talk.
